Talk:Old school

Cleanup
Is this a serious article? I can't tell if it is a joke or not! :)


 * I have no idea. It could be a serious article, but it doesn't appear to be now (whether intentionally or not). ShaneKing 12:58, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * In that case, I'm going to remove the reference to people liking old school things,a nd the reference to old school gangesters.--Mishac 13:00, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * I've done a major re-org of this article, to cover the general meaning first (old school), then delve into the specific meanings of it later (Old School).  Wasted Time R 14:02, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I've made various small changes in style, corrected the use of Old School as an adjective, and added the electronic genre specification. I feel a lot more could be added to this but at present it's not misleading or anything so I'm not really bothered. I thought about adding ol' skoo' as an alternate spelling but then I thought again. freshgavin 15:47, 2005/07/15


 * This topic is not a joke, though I am not sure it should be respelt Old Skool. This type of music has a long and strong past and many communities and website in the UK are dedicated to the style of dance music it refers to,  at type of early rave from 90-93 User:fantazia


 * Proper Old Skool only returns a google hit to a guy swapping mixes with other like-minded individuals... I removed this, since the rest of the article covers the same Jeroenemans 10:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Just a thought... old school entered mainstream culture long before 1986. I've got sci-fi novels from the early 80s with sentences such as "She was of the old school" - and I'd consider language in a sci-fi novel to be pretty mainstream. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)


 * I've removed a reference to usage in Dragnet on the grounds that its use there doesn't seem notable. The phrase is certainly not not unique to popular culture, if that was the reasoning, or even close to it. Here it is though: "He was one of the first directors in [motion] pictures … really old-school." John Robinson (writer), "The Bright Light". Dragnet, NBC Radio.
